Implementing JSON for boost serialization wouldn't be very hard. I'm surprised that in 15? years no one has done it.
Your second sentence should make you at least question the first one. The problem is as I already outlined; if you want to support field reordering, you need a JSON library like the one proposed, because you have to parse the entire JSON into a `value` and then deserialize from the `value`. If you don't support field reordering, the format would basically only interoperate with itself, which defeats the purpose of using JSON. You might as well just use the text archive.
